Whoever You Are by Mem Fox

5.0

One of the most important messages we can teach our children is simply and stunningly portrayed in this short picture book.

"Little one,
whoever you are,
wherever you are,
there are little ones
just like you
all over the world."

There may be many differences between people,
"but inside,
their hearts are
just like yours."

Bright, almost geometric, illustrations dazzle the eye and with a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic cast, emphasize the message that despite our differences, the similarities between us are stronger.

"Joys are the same,
and love is the same.
Pain is the same,
and blood is the same.
Smiles are the same,
and hearts are just the same--
wherever they are,
wherever you are,
wherever we are,
all over the world."

Amen.
